User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Ctrl + arrow used to scroll down the available search engines, but without showing the dropdown. As I had sorted the search engines so that I knew where they were, it was my favourite shortcut. I wonder why it was removed?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type in the search bar in Firefox 3
2. Press ctrl + down/up arrow
3. Nothing happens, where it used to work in Firefox 2
Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Browsing through the search engines

Do you see any errors in the Error Console which can be found under tools? Further please start Firefox in Safe Mode (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode) to check if the same behavior happens when running Firefox without extensions. It could be that an add-on grabs this keyboard shortcut and it is not propagated to the search bar at all.

We certainly haven't removed the shortcut, anyways. Works for me in 3.0.x and a trunk nightly on Mac.
